In this After Effects tutorial, I’ll cover how to use the Roto Brush tool to quickly and effectively rotoscope nearly anything in After Effects. The Roto Brush makes the rather tedious task of manual rotoscoping and makes it pretty easy. Most of the time this tool does a pretty good job and here I’ll attempt to tackle a pretty complex head of hair to place text “behind” the subject in this video and the rotoscoped video with mask out the subject and place her above the text. Hope you enjoy the tutorial and thanks for watching!

This is the best tutorial ever - the fact that you use the "zoom in" and the command subtitles to show what you are doing!

[@tebrazepam]

It should be mentiond that the quality of the roto really depends on the video. The backlight here creates a nice outline and brings out the edges of the hair and the contrast between cold backgroud and warm hair color, making it easier for the tool to work. When the contrast isnt strong enough you cant get a good result.

[@idozaks7876]

I've known about the rotobrush but I had no idea the refine edge brush existed

[@kutaykosem]

same here :D

[@TheBonus]

Same here man I was masking frame by frame a video because i didnt trust roto brush at all , lot of gaps. But i was really frustraded so i came to explore a little bit more and find this refine edge. Its incredible

[@JP-xv8uq]

same

[@akshaybarman7335]

Little work talking to more

[@EverlastingEclipses]

​@@TheBonus at some point manual work in after effects becomes absolutely ridiculous to the point where we cant take that manual bullshit and try to find a little more convenient way to accommodate xD

[@gunberriesgame7680]

nicely explained simple short effective. Coming from a complete beginner I prefer hundered of these ;short tutorials than the very long ones which takes you on all sorts of steps and the guy mumbling through it all like we supposed to understand all the details. Bravo

[@stevecooksley]

I already used refine edge in Photoshop - this is next level s**t! Amazing stuff - thank you!

[@IllBeDARNd]

I particularly enjoyed that you explained what you were doing and why. Other tutorials don't do this. Keep it up, chief.

[@rob_productions]

The most helpful and concise After Effects Tutorial I've seen yet. Great voice too!

[@MRreallyhappysmiley]

WOW! didn't know about refine edge tool! This is a game changer!

[@AlbertAlbertB.]

This video is fantastic. It is well-spoken, clear for a novice to follow, and just absolutely great to learn from. Thank you very much.

[@JackPeach-Animation]

I am absolutely shook by this tutorial! You don't understand the pain I have undertaken by manually pen tooling each frame, this is a killer workflow when you are editing footage without using green screen. 10/10 and subbed.

[@chippsanders9614]

Easy to follow, minimal fluff. Glorious tutorial.

[@FlatPackFX]

Very informative video, I still love seeing other peoples abilities and techniques. Keep it up!

[@hsifnfixiwndjc8wmenfickanxicje]

This is the best roto video I've watched yet, I watched 15 others and I still opted to pen tool mask frame by frame. This completely changed my mind and saved me HOURS. TYSM

[@jonasweber9408]

[@AishawithanEye]

I wish I had watched this before attempting to rotoscope! I had been doing it inverted and couldn't figure out why it wasn't masking properly! I had no idea about refine edges either... Now I'm doing it right! What a relief! Thanks for the tutorial!
